On my XP box, my C:\
is running low on space, and after a massive amount of updates, my Windows
directory is consuming 10 GB of storage - of that:
- 4 GB is in the Installer subdirectory or children
- 1.6 GB is in the SoftwareDistribution directory
- 1.1 GB is in the System32 directory
What are my options for paring down some of the cruft that seems to be on here.
Note, this is a dev laptop, so a lot of stuff is on here already: SQL2K, SQL2k5, VS2005, Office2007, etc... I'd rather not have to reinstall Windows (just cause it will probably get the patches back anyways).
